HTM's 'Tasting' Dinner Features Recipes from Community Cookbooks

Cost of meal is $15 (payable in advance). Reservations must be received by April 8th!

A special meal featuring recipes from historic community cookbooks will be served by Hospitality and Tourism Management students on Friday, April 17 from 6-8 p.m. in the Marriot Center on the 11th floor of the Campus Center.

For more than two years, three faculty members, librarians from the Special Collections and University Archives at the Du Bois Library and a dozen honors students have worked to identify and test unique recipes from the 3,000 community cookbooks in the Beatrice McIntosh Cookery Collection.

According to associate professor Linda Lowry, recipes in the community cookbooks represent not only their place of origin, but also the lives and voices of the women who wrote them.
